Creator:: Martinez-Cordero, F. J., Seijo, J. C., and Juarez, L. M.
Abstract:: Sustainable aquaculture can be achieved when risk and uncertainly are incorporated in the analysis of the activity. This paper presents a precautionary approach to the feasibility analysis of a project for a commercial hatchery, applying decision theory. Two production scenarios were assessed, continuous and periodic, the later a combination of...

Abstract:: The paper predicts the outcomes of alternative management scenarios for the Southern Bluefin Tuna (SBT) fishery over the next twenty years. Two criteria are used to characterize outcomes: economic efficiency as measured by the present value of fishery rent generated; and conservation as measured by the predicted size of the...

Creator:: Hoffmann, Julia and Quaas, Martin F.
Abstract:: The main instrument used in fishery management is the total allowable catch (TAC). Fishery management often fails because TACs are set too high and do not sufficiently restrict fisheries. The question we address in this paper is why do decision makers choose inefficiently high TACs? Our approach is to model...

Abstract:: It is well known that world production of shrimp, particularly farm-raised product, has increased significantly since the early-to-mid 1980's and that much of the product is directed to the U.S. market. Less well known is the fact that the product composition of the U.S. imported product (e.g., headless shell-on, peeled)...

Abstract:: Investors in aquaculture are biased against the mangrove areas and prefer to site their farms in the upland parts of Southwest, Nigeria. This study was carried out to compare the yield performance in the two fish farm locations. The tools utilized included descriptive statistics, budgetary and cash flow analyses and...

Abstract:: The animal protein intake in Nigeria is grossly insufficient yet the retail price of fish is rising. Market intermediaries, alleged to charge excessive and unjustifiable marketing margins (MM), are often blamed for this. This study examines this allegation using data from 225 sun-dried fish traders classified into three groups. Data...

Creator:: Rahming, Anne J.
Abstract:: The failure of the European Union’s Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) to develop a sustainable fishing environment for all member states is often blamed on the incompatibility of the territorial logic of national interests and the market forces of a de-territorialized European Union. Ironically, it is precisely this incompatibility that a...

Abstract:: The global aquaculture industry has seen dramatic growth over the last two decades, and is forecast to become increasingly important into the next century. The aquaculture output, of the African continent, however, remains low at about 4% of the total. There is a perception of failure where donor assisted projects...

Creator:: Diop, Hamady, Keithly, Walter R., and Kazmierczak, Richard F.
Abstract:: Theory suggests that fishing effort would be allocated among various fishing grounds such that profit levels would be equal. Homogeneity among fishers as well as perfect information is assumed and profits are opportunistically increased by changing fishing locations. These assumptions have been shown empirically ins some single fisheries where fishers...

Creator:: Muir, James F., Young, James A., and Smith, Andrew P.
Abstract:: As the various mechanisms of fisheries resources management have matured, fishermen increasingly have responded by devising and developing different forms of collective representation. Within the European Union (EU), Producer's organisation (POs) provide a voluntary organisational structure which has evolved since its inception in the 1970s. During the intervening period, POs...
